The terms of the treaty of Zurich, as already announced, are a mere detail of the THlafranca agreement between France and Austria. We give them at length. The chances that a foil European Congress would alter or amend them Bre lessened by the atatement that in such an assemblage the representation would be limited to the great Powers, with Spain, the Pope, and Naples added, under certain and also that England is not now disposed to send an envoy to it at all. Lord Palme niton being displeased with the Zurich paper, and announcing the fact that he con Bidered Napoleon in much danger, owing to his Italian policy. General discontent, distrust and excitemcnt prevailed in the provinces as well as Piedmont, and civil war or a revolution against the Papal power was apprehended.

From England it is announced that the Great ten steamship would not leave on her transatlantic voyage before next spring at the earliestA voyage to Lisbon was apoken of. A series of electrical experiments on the Atlantic cable, near Valencia, had raised hopes of the resuscitation of the old wire, and gave much encouragement for the laying of a new line. Spain was abont to declare war against Morocco. France was to send eighUnn thousand men to China, but the expedition would not leave before the end of the present year. Disheartening accounts had reached Paris from the CochiivChina expedition.

Napoleon continued his armaments on a large scale. A Russian merchant had failed for $1,200,000, and afterwards, it was reported, committed suicide. Two hundred and three Circassian emigrants had drowned by shipwreck in the Turkish waters. The London market was somewhat more stringent, and consols had declined to a 96 for both xnooey and account American State stocks were Inactive, while railroad securities were doll, but With unaltered prices. A revival in cotton in both the Liverpool and Bane markets is reported.

At the former there was an advancing tendency for all clean descriptions, and middling qualities were one-eighth of a petny higher. The breadstufih and provision market were dull, with a decline in the price of flour and wheat There was considerable speculation in Sugar, and refining qualities had advanced sixpence to one shilling in the London and Liverpool markets. Our special despatch from Charlestown, States that Shields Green, one of the negro conspirators, has been found guilty of conspiring with Slaves and murder, the count alleging treason having been abandoned.

A brief despatch from New Orieans states that another extensive conflagration was raging at New Orleans on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, and that the firemen were unable to extinguish the flames from lack of water.

In another page of this day 'a issue of the Hikai.d the reader will finu some extracts from our contemporaries, North and South, giving expression, not only to their own opinions, but to the sentiments of the population among which they circulate.

The lecture deifying John Brown, copied from the Boston Atlas, is particularly deserving of attention. Washington, and the other heroes of the Revolution of the last century, are but small potatos beside the hero of the second revolution. William Tell is but a faint type of him; while his prosecutors are compared with Pilate, Gesler and the Inquisition. Even the cunning and cautious anli-Blavery Washington Era predicts fearful servile massacres in the Gulf States; while the pro-slavery Southern journals are preparing their readers for the worst, and declaring in favor of immediate seoession and separation, in order to avert a bloody civil war. But blood is already shed; civil war is begun, and the Southern journals, as well as the Northern, are fanning the flames.

Wendell Phillips and the other panegyrists of Brown insist that Harper's Ferry is the Lexington of the revolution of 1859, and will bear to it the Bame relation in the page of the historian as the event at the little town in Massachusetts bore to the seven years' war of Independence. Brown has been called imprudent by some of the organs of the second revolution; but they only mean that he is unwise in the same sense that the volunteer leader of the forlorn hope, who attempts to storm a fortress and is mowed down, is considered imprudent by the army who are to follow him and carry the works. John Brown is only foolish because he is braver than his fellow conspirators, and not wicked and criminal because of his treason and murder. On the contrary, his cause is, according to them, good and righteous, and if he had only succeeded til bin attempt, lie uvt vulj lit but greater than Washington himself. He iB thus but a few steps in advance of those revolutionary journals and leaders who are following in his track, haud passibus cequis, not with the same impetuosity with which he has charged, but still making steady progress in the same direction.

He has led the way, they are on the road. He is the leader of the advance guard they are leading the main body and the rear. Their time for the assault is not yet come, but it is coming fast. Under the battle cry of Harper's Ferry, and with the name of John Brown inscribed on their banners and re echoed through their ranks, they intend to carry the State of New York in the ensuing week, and that is the captured bridge that leads Seward to the White House, as the passage of the bridge of Turbigo over the Ticino on the 3d of June led to the victory of Magenta, and opened Louis Napoleon's way to Milan. With the higher law prophet inaugurated in the Capitol on the 4th of March, 1861, a second Solferino would follow.

Even if he were disposed to adopt moderate counsels, at variance with his Rochester manifesto, his disciples wonld not permit him. They would force him forward, as an eager, impetuous crowd impels onward by irresistible pressure all who stand in front of them. The Harper's Ferry affair is, therefore, but the sharp skirmish before the general battle. It would indeed be a very unimportant and contemptible affair if it stood isolated and alone. But it does not so stand.

It is the beginning of the end; the first act of war; the first of a series of hostilities, the end of which may be the dissolution of the Union and the division of the country into two or three fragments. From the tone and temper of the Southern journals, and of the population which they represent, it seems likely that the South will not quietly wait till Mr. Seward is seated in the Presidential chair. If battle is not given them before that event, they will probably take the initiative, cut loose from the North, and form a Southern confederacy, contract alliances with foreign nations, and sell their cotton in every market but that of the Northern States; and "the irrepressible conflict of antagonistic and enduring forces" which Mr. Seward announced, may prove to be of longer duration and of more bitter antagonism than has entered into his calculation.

The hatred and ferocity which prompted the Virginians at Harper's Ferry to take one of their prisoners out of the arms of a woman who pleaded for his life, and deliberately shoot him down, while in their power, is but a foretaste of the future. The mutual enmity will only have fairly developed itself when the Union is dissolved, and the border wars between England and Scotland will be fought over again by their descendants in the North and South of what still are called the United States. Once the sword is drawn, who can tell where or when it will be sheathed? Never willit be returned to the scabbard till the whole of this fair soil is an field of blood. Here at the North a fanaticism, which is both religious and philosophical, quoting the Bible and Thomas Jefferson, is stimulated into activity not only by the exciting event at Harper's Ferry, but the inflammatory comments of the republican press and the demagogues who make it the text of their treasonable lectures and harangues. Some of these journals and leaders have no sincerity, it is true, and merely use the first act in the anti-slavery rebellion a God-send to advance their political schemes.

But the popular mind is sincere, ttnd if ouco fully exasperated, It cannot be toothed down at the pleasure of unscrupulous politicians. They may find, to their coat, that they hare gone too far, and kindled a fire In their neighbor's house which they cannot queaeh till it consumes their own. The journals at the South are equally violent, though not so ffcnatlcal. They are throwing oil instead of water on the incipient oonflagration, and if their advice is adopted it is not long before this great confederacy is split into two halves. Nor would the calamity end there in spite of all the influence of the press a fierce war would inevitably follow, whose horrors no human heart can conceive.

From all appearances there is only one thing that cnn prevent this dire catastrophe, which hangs over the Union like two dark thunderclouds, which are approaching each other and at any moment may explode. Nothing can prevent it but the interposition of the conservative element between the antagonistic forces, keeping them both in chock by firmness and discretion, and rallying around itself the public virtue and the patriotism of the country. Tine News from Europe- Preparations of Lou la Kupolcoa for Action. The news from Europe by the America, though showing little of importance on the face, has a deep import in fact The details of the peace of Zurich are reported to be but an amplification of the Yillafranca agreement, and that leaves much to be settled in a general conference of the European Powers. When the Congress of Paris was in session, Austria pointedly refused to permit the Italian question to be brought up, and even a year ogo she would not submit it to pacific arbitration, but chose to go to war.

She has had war, and has been driven out of a large portion of Italy, and now she relies upon an European Congress to save her from a still greater recision of her pretensions. In this Congress all the smaller Powers are to be lugged in, and there will consequently be an immense amount of intriguing, humbugging and cheating in its operations. Meanwhile, Italy remains like an open volcano, ready to pour out the lava of revolution over Europe if the natural vents are stopped and an attempt is made to force the rc-eBtablishment of the Dukes, or to prevent the Pope from making those reforms which now seem to be the only alternative with political destruction. While these diplomatic preparations are being made, and the great Powers are evidently determined that Italy shall be left free to develope its institutions in its own way, there are other indications of an undercurrent in European affairs which are not without their importance. The expedition to China has sunk into a partial silence at least, and we hear no more of a French contingent for the English quarrel in Asia.

The cordiale does not seem to have become revivified under the stimulus of the guns at the mouth of the Peiho, and we have reason to believe that there is a hitch somewhere in the policy of England and France in Asiatic affairs. Our own Ambassador in China may yet be the best hope of England to gut herself out ot the dilemma into which Palmwrston has led her. She Will hardly undertake to carry her banners from the Ganges to Pekin, and subjugate five hundred millions of Asiatics as she has the two hundred millions in India. It is for the purpose of diverting the public mind of England from the Chinese puzale that the ministerial organs keep up 6uch a furious fire on the Italian question on one side, and the San Juan dispute with us on other. But there is something more even than this to hide in the present movements of Europe.

France continues her preparations for war on a scale of gigantic magnitude. Not a moment is lost, not a single fibre is relaxed; steel clad chips and powerful steamers are being continually constructed, rifled cannon cast by hundreds, munitions and all the elements of war provided in immense quantities. Louis Napoleon does not make these immense preparations jn vain. He has in view some great movement, which, when he is prepared, he will make on the checkered board of European affairs. Will this movement be in accordance with the entente cordiale, or will it be against the policy that is supposed to exist between the French Emperor and his English prot6gi, Palmerston? The silence in regard to China may mean as much as the loud talk about the liberties of Italy.

Things That Won't Go The Hon. Tom Corwin is an ingenious casuist, but he has not as yet acquired the faculty of making black appear white. His apology for treason, at the republican ratification meeting the other night, does not render the crime leas rank, or the connivance at it by the leaders of the party leas manifest. The fact is tint Corwin himself is deeply tainted with the infection. Between hicn, Wendell Phillips, Seward and Greeley there is, we admit, a difference, but it is only one of degree.

Phillips, with Old John Brown, occupies the foremost rank in the path of treason, Seward and Greeley come next, and Corwin and Etarts follow in their wake. Were it possible to misapprehend from their speeches the animus of the two latter, the resolutions to which they were subscribing parties at this meeting would clinch the doubt. Whilst these resolutions are as treasonable as they can be in spirit, their framers take care to envelope their significance in vague professions of respect for the constitution. The world will not be deceived by such subterfuges. Between the treason that is kept within bounds by fear, and tie daring disaffection and self-devotion of men like John Brown, there is a distance which the black republicans evidently do not care to overleap.

Cache and Effect. Lawyer Evarts, in Ms speech at the Cooper Institute on Thursday evening, endeavored, by an effort of special pleading, to explain away the physical significancy of Senator Seward's famous Rochester speech. He might as well have attempted to prove that the incendiary harrangues of the Jacobin leaders had no connection with the excesses and atrocities of the first French revolution. If there were no demagogues there would be no insurgents, for men like Ossuwatomie Brown are but the instruments of the crafty beads and craven hearts which are ever ready to plan without participating in the risks of revolution. 1 The return of the cereal season is happily recognized by the Governors of some fourteen States of the Union, who have suggested, designated or appointed, aH the case may be, the 24th of thin month as a day of general for Uic same day hao been named la all the States, and It Menu to be eminently proper that Thanksgiving day should be the sane in all the States.

Will Brows lucaUdT-Tke AbolltUa. tab Pnparteg "Old John Brown" baa been tried, convicted, and sentenced to death, by a Virginia court, upon the grave charges ol treason, insurrection and murder, and the important question which now agitates our politicians on all sides is, Will he be executed?" The Richmond Enquirer, (be confidential organ of Governor Wise, says that "the Presidency is the offer now made to the Executive of Virginia for an unjustifiable exercise of Executive clemency," (the pardon or commutation of the sentence of Browu); that many of the sympathizing writers to the Governor on the subject "make their appeals through the fears of personal violence;" but that most of them appeal to the magnanimity, the kind-heartedness, and the ambition of the Executive." The Bame authoritative journal further informs us that these efforts "are not confined to the black republican journals," but that some of our Northern democratic papers are joining in this cry, and npon the plea that Brown, as a living martyr, at hard work for life," would do leas damage to the democratic cause in the North, than as a dead martyr. All such appeals and arguments, however, in behalf of Brown, are very decisively answered by the Richmond journal aforesaid, in the emphatic declarations that" Virginia will execute Brown and his associates, and feels herself able to meet all the consequences that may arise from that act;" and that Brown, having forfeited his life, need not expect the saving intervention of "pity and commiseration." The Enquirer also takes the ground that the execution of Brown is the shortest way of disposing of the agitation of Brown for political purposes in the North; for it contends that while Brown, in the State prison, would bo a constant theme of abolition and black republican agitation, the hanging of Brown would be, even politically, the last of him. Thus, notwithstanding the confident and defiant language of the Chevalier Webb, that Brown will not be hung, and that Governor Wise dare not permit bis execution, we must confess that Brown's chances of escape from the hangman are exceedingly gloomy. The Governor of Virginia appears to be inflexibly resolved to allow the law to take its course in regard to Brown and his associates.

We fear, indeed, that the intervention of Tammany Hall and the Albaany Regency combined, in behalf of the commutation of Brown's sentence to imprisonment for life, would be unavailing. Greeley evidently understands better than Webb the temper of Governor Wise, for Brown has hardly the shadow of a hope of escape from the scaffold. Acting upon this opinion, the radical Boston abolitionists, through the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, have adopted the following resolution: EXECUTION OF CAPT. JOHN BROWN. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the American Anti Slavery Society held in Boston, Nov.

1, the following resolution wus rwuiycd That.it is recommended to the impartial freedom throughout tuc fie states, in case of the execution of Cautain John Brown, now on trial for his life in Virginia, to observe that tragical event, OS thb day or its in Buch manner as by them may be deemed most appropriate in their various localities? whether by public meetings and addresses, the adoption of resoluUons private conferences, or any other justifiable mode of action for the furtherance of the anti-slavery cause, and renewedly to consecrate themselves to the patriotic and Christian work or effecting the abolition of that most dangerous, unnatural, cruel and impious system of slavery, which is the fruitful source of all our sectional heartburnings and conflicts, which powerfully and increasingly tends to promote servile insurrections and civil war, which cannot be more truly or more comprehensively doscribed than as "tux sum or all villaxim," which is a burning disgrace and fearful curse to the whole country, and by the speedy extinction of which, alone, can the land be saved front violence, blood and utter demoralization. In behalf of the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, WM. LLOYD GARRISON, President Wdpbll Phillips, sacMtarfcw Charlkb C. Bumjbob, Secretaries. From this dreadful manifesto, it will be seen that the abolitionists proper are the first in the field upon the martyrdom of "Old Brown," and that they intend to make the same use of him that W.

H. Seward, Thurlew Weed and the anti-Masonic party of some thirty years ago made of a dead body alleged to be that of Morgan, a recanting Mason, who had published a book disclosing the mysteries of the Order, and had then mysteriously disappeared. But Garrison, Phillips and the American AntiSlavery Society, will have the advantage over Seward, Weed and the anti-Masons, in having a martyr about whose identity there can be no doubt, and concerning whose fate there will be nothing left to conjecture. Whether Weed, Seward and the republican managers generally will consent to follow in the wake of Garrison and Phillips, in the celebration of the day of Brown's execution in lieu of the Fourth of July, remains to be seen. But as the dead body of the alleged Morgan was paraded by Weed as "a good enough Morgan till after the election," so, perhaps, the republicans may consent to howl over the execution of Brown when the election is over.

Meantime, we have no advice to give to the Governor of Virginia. If the appeals from the Northern democracy, and the threats of the republicans, in a political and Presidential view of the subject, have failed to shake his resolution to hang Brown, then we may say that the argument is ended. Accordingly, let the American Anti-Slavery Society prepare for their funeral orgies; and if our black republicans should wish to join in the ceremonies, perhaps our red republicans will lend them the funeral paraphernalia which they used in memory of that other crazy champion of "human freedom," Orsini. Kansas Testimony Against Brown. We print elsewhere extracts from a Kansas republican paper the Herald of Freedom, published in Lawrence which represent Old Brown's case in a very unfavorable light When we add that this testimony comes from a journal which has hoisted the names of Salmon P.

Chase, of Ohio, for President, and Nathaniel P. Banks, of Massachusetts, for Vice President, its abolition orthodoxy will not be questioned, nor its evidence impugned on the ground of political hostility. Well, this Herald of published in the abolition stronghold of Lawrence, Kansas, and edited by a namesake of old Ossawatomie himself, shows up John Brown in the very worst colors as a malignant cut-throat and murderer. It gives dates and circumstances with the greatest minuteness, and shows that on the 21th of May, 1856, three months before the first of Brown's sons (Frederick) was killed and before any of the family had bad a huir of their heads injured, Old Brown, with seven men. had marched at night to a point eight miles above Potawatomle creek, tailed Uicir live pro-bUvery men, whote bum are given, ud rathleaaly luwi- 1 uted then.

The same paper telle, alao, hew at the Law- rence Convention there waa organised by Brown, Redpath and others, "a eeoret oathbound league, the object of which waa to maaaacre, in cold blood, ever officer elected under the Lecompton constitution." But aa no officers were elected under it, and aa it never went into operation, there waa no opportunity for carrying out the ruthless conditions of the oath of blood. Finally, we are told that the whole plan of the Harper's Ferry organization, mode of operation, had been known in Kansas for a long time, and that Gerrit Smith was the tool of the conspirators. The editor gives notice, too, that he has all the facts and figures in his possession, and will make good his statements when called on. Really, in view of this evidence, voluntarily given by an abolition organ, we begin to that Old Brown has had too large a measure of sympathy, and that he deserved a long rope and a short shrift years ago. We can hardly think that the Herald of dom has been influenced, in stating these facts, I by the cold blooded political calculations that are inducing the abolitionists and black republicans of the North to provoke Governor Wise into renouncing any ideas of mercy ho might have been forming in regard to Old Brown.

At all events, Brown has every reason to pray to be saved from his friends. Spoils Projects por the Next Legislature The Dutt op Voters. There never was an election at which it was more necessary for the voters of this city to examine closely into the antecedents and qualifications of the candidates presented to them for election 'than that which is about to take place. It is well known that the Albany lobby have been moving Heaven and earth to secure such nominations as will enable them to carry out their nefarious plans of plunder for the next session. Between Thurlow Weed, the republican, and Confidence Cassidy, the democrat, aided by the most pliable of the leaders of the two parties, there are jobs laid out which, if carried into effect, will rob the city of from six to eight millions of dollars.

Of railroad Bohemes, including, the Broadway job, and the cross lines with which it is proposed to intersect the upper part of the city, it to projected to legislate away to parties resident in different parts of the State public property to the amount of between five and six millions. In the same way an effort will be made to appropriate to the State all the land which has been filled in in front of the Battery since the evacuation of the British, with a view to secure it, at a merely nominal lease, as a depot for the New York Central Railroad and the Broadway and other city lines. The value of this land, if it was put up to competition, would be moderately estimated at two millions more. Thus, as in case of the West Washington market, it is sought to strip the city of an extensive piece of property, in order to enrich the land sharks who are in connection with the lobby. With such projects of plunder on hand, of course money has been mad to flow freely, and the sums that have been spent in this city within the last few weeks, in the way of bribery, have, we understand, exceeded in prodigality any similar efforts ever before made by the lobby with the nominating conventions.

In this state of things the duty which devolves on all honest voters is a plain one. They must recognise no nomination of the bearing of which on the interests of the city they are doubtful. If they have reason to believe that the candidate is linked, either directly or remotely, with the corrupt cliques which are maturing these schemes of plunder, it should be a conclusive reason for them to refuse him their support. Before depositing their votes they must ask themselves, first, whether they will defend the rights of the city or join its oppressors and spoilers; and, secondly, whether they will range themselves on the side of union or treason These questions are intimately connected with each other, for it will be fouud that the apologists of Seward's incendiary doctrines are the most active movers in these colossal schemes of public spoliation and robbery.

While Ilia Kinging of the music of Gcnnaro does not convinoe the latter party of their error, it goes far towards strengthening the former in their position. In the first act his rondering of the Di Pacatore solo attracted bat little attention; he was evidently saving himself Tor the grand trio of the second act, where he delivered the exquisite morccau "Ah aire mia" with such passionate sympathy and dramatic earnestness, Joined to the most faultless tone and method, as to draw out unanimous applause. The trio was repeated, and the artists recalled again and again.

The music of Gennaro is not vory exacting, and lies directly within Beaucardo's power. Had be commenced with this opera his successes would have been tar greater. Mme. Gazzaniga was the I.ucrezia, and gave us a very fine performance, as usual, She was particularly good in the trio finale of the second act. Mme.

Strakoecb and Amodio completed the cast. The matinee to day promises to be grand. Bead the programme. Personal Intelligence.
